Victory gives OSU shot at NIT title
Issue date: 4/2/08 Section: Sports
NEW YORK - Ohio State will get another chance to wrap up its season with a title, though not quite the one the Buckeyes had in mind when fall practice started.
Hey, at least they don't have to mess with Florida this time.
Jamar Butler and Evan Turner scored 17 each, and the Buckeyes used a buckling half-court trap and an early 14-0 run to beat Mississippi 81-69 on Tuesday night in the NIT semifinals.
Ohio State (23-13) will play Massachusetts for the championship Thursday night, after the Minutemen knocked off Florida 78-66 and allowed a small but vocal contingent of Buckeye fans to breathe a little easier before their game even began...
I would have liked to have a shot to beat Florida for the NIT Championship, but as long as we're playing for the championship I'm happy! It may not be an NCAA Championship, but I'll take it all the same.
